Subject:      How much can I "safely" carry in my Vanagon?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

My family bakes bread at the farmer's market locally and its time to make a
"cross state" trip to get some bags of grain...

Looking at the manual I see 150 pounds per seating position which adds up
to 1050 pounds...

I'm looking at bringing about 1250 pounds (including passengers, not
including assorted junk under the seats)... Does anyone see 200 extra
pounds for about 100 miles something to be an issue? I will prolly keep it
to 55 for the majority of the trip back home...

Thanks in advance!
